The Greatest Songs of All-Time (Ongoing Series. Mind-Expanding)
You may have noticed that I love Brazilian music, especially the music of Milton Nascimento. He will go down, when all is said and done (is all said and done?), as one of the greatest South American composers of the 20th century. He is surely one of the most unique singers alive as well. A total genius in all respects.
This is a duet with Nana Caymmi on the stunning song "Cais" (which roughly translates, I believe, to "Seashore" or, less beautifully, "Wharf"), from Clube de Esquina. Buy that album immediately, sinner. It is one of the greatest I have ever heard, and it jockeys alongside The Band's self-titled, XTC's Skylarking, The Beatles White Album, Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil and Van Morrison's Veedon Fleece as my all-time favorite non-classical album. Put your trust in me reader! I will never let you down! I am yours!
